Razor - OneBlade Genesis
Blade - Feather FHS-10 (2)
Brush - Morris & Forndran Style 1 26mm 2-band finest badger fan
Soap - Barrister and Mann Reserve Classic
A/S - Supply Arenella Coast

I got a fantastic shave from the OneBlade yesterday, so I had to go back to it again today. As many have said, the proprietary Feather blade is not the best, so I could already feel it cutting way less smoothly today. I can generally only use them twice, which is kind of garbage. Still, the shave was again super comfortable, pretty close (though not as close as yesterday), and my complexion was nice and clear afterwards; no redness or irritation. Also, for some reason the OneBlade lets me shave pretty quickly. I should really break it out more often on work days. The M&F brush is starting to feel less scritchy too; still very scrubby, but man can that baby lather.

Love it. How was the 3D printed razor head?
Love the brush, really looks the part.

Thanks. I only added spiral ridges and a raised center to the bowl. The ridges really help agitate the brush. The 3D Printer leaves a very light texture from each layer, and I don't think it benefits the lather, but there is noticeable feedback compared to some of my ceramic bowls.View attachment 1061574
The agitator ridges look pretty effective. Plus a brush holder, no less! Great job.

Thanks. I was pleasantly surprised with the 3D printed razor. I wanted to see how close I could get to duplicating one of my favorites (J. A. Henckels Rapide). The only thing I came close to duplicating was the handle, and the angle of the blade. I ended up designing my own razor head with interchangable open comb plates, from mild, to medium, and aggressive. I used the medium and got a BBS shave. If I had to compare, the razor feels like an open comb GEM Micromatic with the angle of the Rapide, minus the weight. For the brush, I was able to measure the geometry of an old Made-Rite 203 brush I had laying around.

iKon OG1

RR finest badger (barrel handle)
Nivea post shave balm
Clubman bay rum aftershave

the OG1 is a new razor similar to the SBS but a flatter head. The open comb is more aggressive and the closed comb is very mild. A very nice first shave. Very comfortable.

How is the blade alignment? Is it spot on every time or does it need adjustment?
